maybe ... get the other receivers to think that Gaffney might be taking a roster spot

who knows

this franchise is in better shape because we have one of the best HCs in the NFC East ... I know that the record is 12-20, the main reason for that is not Mike Shanahan

we are a lot better off because of Mike Shanahan

We do not have all the details about Gaffney but it would not surprise me if Mike maybe was trying to help him out and thought that there was still a chance that Gaffney might not get picked up

Gaffney helped here last season but he might find it a little more difficult to get on this roster this season

I'm not sure that Gaffney's here next week ... and I don't think he thinks so either ....

altho ... he might have found pictures ... or something ....

They told him if they can't trade him they are cutting him and then needed to "back pedal" because they found out they couldn't trade him?

It was never reported that they told hin that they would cut him he wasn't traded.

What came out after Gaffney reported the team was trying to trade him was that the rumors inside that organization was that they would cut him if he wasn't traded.

The difference is if Gaffney said it, it is reliable info. If it is just "rumors around the organization" then it isn't reliable!

Why would the team leak that they were going to cut him if they can't trade him? It makes no sense because it kills his trade value (what little there is).

I firmly believe that if they can't trade him he will be on the team until they need the cap space to sign rookies. And if he looks better in mini camps then some of the other players he might stick around.

What MS said at the press conference makes it sound like they don't expect Haffney to make the team because they have younger players they would rather fill his spot. But it also sounded liked he want just going to cut the guy until he new he can afford to cut him.

If you were just starting the guys that are the most productive nfl players then he is easily a starter. If your more concerned about next year than this year you then you let him go.

But if you want to win more games this year you keep him!
